What should I do if my baby has a fever and poor appetite?

Many babies often cannot get rid of their fever once they have it. This mainly means that there is a disease in the baby's body and it has not been eradicated. So it is not enough for us to just do some symptomatic treatment. The most scientific way is to go to the hospital for treatment in time. Here we have collected a lot of information about the symptoms of baby's fever and poor appetite. What should we do?

If a fever is not treated, will the body temperature continue to rise and never end? Don't worry, it won't happen. The upper limit of human body temperature is about 41.6 degrees Celsius. Unless you are dehydrated or locked in a closed car, your body temperature will naturally stop at its peak. Therefore, fever itself will not burn the brain or cause it. What causes the brain to operate is the cause of the disease behind the fever, not the symptom of fever.

The most common cause of fever is infection, whether it is a virus, bacteria or microorganism. When it invades the human body and stimulates the immune system to release "thermoses", it will affect the body temperature regulation center in the hypothalamus, raising the set temperature, so that the body temperature exceeds the normal range, which is called "fever." When you take antipyretic drugs, the set temperature is lowered and the body temperature gradually returns to normal, which is called "fever reduction".

The key to understanding the pathology of fever lies in the concept of "setting temperature". If the set temperature does not change, the physiological response will always tend to reach the set temperature as the target. For example, when pathogens invade and the set temperature rises to 39 degrees Celsius, using cold water to bathe in an attempt to dissipate heat and reduce fever is not only ineffective, but will make the child shiver and shiver, which is very painful. If the set temperature is not changed, the body will still produce heat to reach the target body temperature while dissipating heat. Therefore, you must first use antipyretic drugs to lower the set temperature, and then assist with physical heat dissipation so that the body temperature can truly drop.

We recommend taking some antibiotics before examination and treatment, and choosing to use Ruizhiqing Granules or Anrike to take fever medicine for treatment. If the virus is defined as a bacterial infection, then you must follow the doctor's advice. It is recommended that you take some antibiotics at home without hospitalization.
